Day 4 | Reykjavík

Spend the day in Iceland's colourful capital city, Reykjavík. You will find a wide range of restaurants, boutiques and shops with Icelandic design, interesting museums, an active music scene and exciting nightlife.

Good Service and great itinerary for Ring Road self- drive.
Would highly recommend. They were responsive even when I had a question during the tour. The guest houses in the country side and the guest house in Reykjavik were superior and there were no issues with finding our way using the tablet provided. A plus was getting a great car (maybe this was just luck?) a Suzuki 4WD All Grip which did great on the roads. I have never used an agency before, but would do it again without hesitation. Thank you, Hey Iceland!
